About

The biggest Draw to an Astrologian is their ability to buff their party DPS with Arcanum. This analyzer will show you how the stars work for you and not the other way around

Playing any healer requires you to carefully manage your MP and cooldowns to efficiently keep your party alive. If you plan out your heals and communicate with your co-healer, you will naturally end up putting out more DPS with the extra GCDs gained.

There's still lots more work to be done for this tool to be comprehensive! If you have a suggestion for what is worth tracking please pop by our Discord channel!

Checklist
Play as many cards as possible
83.3%

Playing cards will let you collect seals for Divination and contribute to party damage.

  • Prepared before pull: 1/1
  • Obtained from Draw: 27/30
  • Obtained from Sleeve Draw: 5/5
  • Total cards obtained: 33/36

Avoid overheal
52.1%

Avoid wasting heals by healing for more than required to fill a target's HP bar. While some overheal is inevitable, overheal only serves to generate more enmity, for no gain. Being efficient with healing additionally helps with your MP management.

  • Overheal (non-HoT): 32.66%
  • Overheal (Earthly Star): 40.24%
  • Overheal (HoT): 56.75%

  • Overheal (all sources): 47.88%
Use Divination
85.7%

Divination provides Astrologian with a strong amount of raid DPS when stacked together with arcanum. Damage percentage bonuses stack multiplicatively, so it's most optimal to stack it with cards from Minor Arcana. Try to time the usage to match raid buffs and high output phases of other party members - it's more important to use it on time rather than hold it in an attempt to have 3 different seals.

Keep your DoT up
0.0%

Combust III makes up a good portion of your damage. Aim to keep this DoT up at all times. It also can be used to weave (Draw) and manage cards, or maneuver around without dropping GCD uptime.

Always be casting
91.0%

Make sure you're always doing something. It's often better to make small mistakes while keeping the GCD rolling than it is to perform the correct rotation slowly.

  • GCD Uptime: 90.95%
Suggestions
Don't die. Between downtime, lost gauge resources, and resurrection debuffs, dying is absolutely crippling to damage output.
Morbid
2 deaths
Keep Lucid Dreaming on cooldown for better MP management.
Major
3 uses of Lucid Dreaming were missed by holding it for at least a total of 03:06.
Avoid interrupting casts by either prepositioning yourself or utilizing slidecasting where possible. If you have to move, try to save an instant cast to keep your GCD rolling.
Major
You missed 10 casts (approximately 15s of total casting time) due to interruption.
Plan your Earthly Star placements so that it's always cooked enough for the full potency when you need it.
Major
5 detonations of an uncooked Earthly Star.
Use Earthly Star more frequently. It may save a healing GCD and results in more damage output.
Major
About 2 uses of Earthly Star were missed by holding it for at least a total of 02:57.
Use Celestial Intersection more frequently. Frequent uses can heal or mitigate a large amount of damage over the course of a fight, potentially resulting in fewer required healing GCDs.
Major
About 30 uses of Celestial Intersection were missed by holding it for at least a total of 15:05.
Try to plan your Horoscope usages to have it up before you need to cast Helios or Aspected Helios.Horoscope Helios may help to cover more damage later without needing to cast more AOE heals.
Medium
27 AOE GCD heals were cast without horoscope even though it was available.
Use Draw as soon as its available to maximize both MP regen and the number of cards played.
Medium
About 3 uses of Draw were missed by holding it for at least a total of 01:35.
Avoid weaving more actions than you have time for in a single GCD window. Doing so will delay your next GCD, reducing possible uptime. Check the Weaving Issues module below for more detailed analysis.
Medium
3 instances of incorrect weaving

Weaving Issues
06:30 - 2 weaves (12s between GCDs)
12:00 - 2 weaves (8.02s between GCDs)
14:00 - 4 weaves (7.93s between GCDs)
Lightspeed

The main use of Lightspeed should be for weaving card actions during Divination and Sleeve Draw windows.
It can also be used for keeping casts up while on the move and other specific scenarios.
Each fight calls for a different strategy, but try to utilize it as much as possible.

Unless it's being used for Ascend, lightspeed can fit at least 6 GCDs.

4/19/2020Overhaul of logic used to calculate when the boss is invulnerable and/or untargetable. This will have minimal impact on DPS and tanks with average or better play - however, it will have a marked impact on low-uptime play and healer accuracy.
This is a very large change that has been years in the making - and while no effort has been spared to ensure its accuracy, it may have some edge cases we missed. If you see something that looks wrong, please feel free to drop by the discord server, and we can double check to make sure its behaving as it should.
